Re: Just doing my part: Trump is an idiot

I don't follow politics very much, but during these moments i take it as an exercise for my own mind.

Remember when everyone was hating bush, and he was reelected for second term? yep.

I guess the majority or people voted for him. This just strengthens my point that the majority of people are idiots. Not just the US, but globally.

When you look at other countries/regions, the people put in charge, sometimes it boggles the mind same as with US.

But then there's the other side. What if, just what if trump is testing the system for what he can get away with? Sure, you can call him an idiot, but he's a successful business man, so he did something right, at least in the past. 'Right' being debatable and another topic in and of itself, the shady business practices, capitalism and all. Still. He is considered successful in the current state of our world.

So he must not be a complete idiot. Maybe for him it's just a game. He achieved the highest possible position in the country, possibly the world, with the US military power.

This is a moot point, given that

1: The first time Bush won, the majority of people didn't vote for him, so who knows how the second 2004 election would have turned out had Gore been elected in 2000;2: Trump didn't secure the popular vote either.

*clears throat* I don't know about you, but if someone's legal affairs are numerous and prominent enough to be a lengthy Wikipedia article, I'd say much of what you claim here is questionable at best.

Making excuses for the torture and murder of a Washington Post columnist by the Saudis?

It'd be more shocking if it wasn't such "small potatoes" relative to the sheer number of people (>5 million) on the brink of starvation due to the Saudi "coalition" war of aggression upon Yemen (which wouldn't be possible without US/UK midair refueling of the Saudi Air Force, let alone selling them the bombs and ammunition for their US-made warplanes).

Luckily, the Georgia Secretary of State (Republican, naturally) is running for governor whilst simultaneously expunging the voter rolls of 107,000 registered voters.
